![SURA MUMINUUM](muminuum.gif)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
- The Believers must (eventually) win through,
- Those who humble themselves in their prayers;
- Who avoid vain talk;
- Who are active in deeds of charity;
- Who abstain from sex,
- Except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or (the captives) whom their right hands possess, -- for (in their case) they are free from blame,
- But those whose desires exceed those limits are transgressors;
- Those who faithfully observe their trust and their covenants;
- And who (strictly) guard their prayers;
- Those will be the heirs,
- Who will inherit Paradise: they will dwell therein (forever).
- Man We did create from a quintessence (of clay);
- Then We placed him as (a drop of) sperm in a place of rest, firmly fixed;
- Then We made the sperm into a clot of congealed blood; then of that clot We made a (foetus) lump; then We made out of that lump bones and clothed the bones with flesh; then We developed out of it another creature: so blessed be Allah the Best to create!
- After that, at length, ye will die.
- Again, on the Day of Judgment, will ye be raised up.
- And We have made, above you, seven tracts; and We are never unmindful of (Our) Creation.
- And We send down water from the sky according to (due) measure, and We cause it to soak in the soil; and We certainly are able to drain it off (with ease).
- With it We grow for you gardens of date-palms and vines: in them have ye abundant fruits: and of them ye eat (and have enjoyment).
- Also a tree springing out of Mount Sinai, which produces oil, and relish for those who use it for food.
- And in cattle (too) ye have an instructive example: from within their bodies We produce (milk) for you to drink; there are, in them, (besides), numerous (other) benefits for you; and of their (meat) ye eat;
- And on them, as well as in ships, ye ride.
- (Further We sent a long line of prophets for your instruction.) We sent Noah to his people: He said "O my people! worship Allah! Ye have no other god but Him: Will ye not fear (Him)?"
- The chiefs of the Unbelievers among his people said: "He is no more than a man like yourselves: His wish is to assert his superiority over you: If Allah had wished (to send messengers), He could have sent down angels: Never did we hear such a thing (as he says), among our ancestors of old."
- (And some said:) "He is only a man possessed: wait (and have patience) with him for a time."
